George & the Dragon Slayer

The original story of
Saint George and the Dragon dates back to the 7th
century, the narrative maintaining that in a
fictitious town in Libya there lived a king who
chose to appease the evil dragon in the town’s lake
that was poisoning the countryside. With the
agreement of his subjects, the appeasement involved
feeding the dragon two sheep every day. But when
there were no more sheep, the King’s subjects
started feeding their children to the dragon, chosen
by lottery.

When one of the lots fell on
the king’s daughter, he told the people
they
could have all his gold and silver and half his
kingdom if his daughter were spared, but the people
refused. As his daughter walked to the lake to be
fed to the dragon, fate intervened–– Saint George
happened to be riding by.

Saint
George stabbed the dragon with his lance, then
placed a collar around its neck and, with the
princess at his side, paraded the wounded monster
through the streets of the town. The townspeople
were terrified, whereupon Saint George promised to
slay the beast if they all converted to
Christianity, which they did quite promptly.

What a
rich parable––with variations of course––on today’s
political scene.

THE
2017 VERSION

In my
version, the poisonous dragon is radical billionaire
George Soros, who has made it his life’s work to
poison vibrant democratic systems of government
throughout the world in order to actualize his
globalist vision of One World Government in which
unicorns prance in gorgeous meadows, everyone speaks
a polyglot Esperanto, capitalism is destroyed, food
and shelter and meaning in life are provided by
egomaniacs who know better than everyone else what
is good for We the People, and the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, as well as Jesus and Buddha, are
all dead because only government is the god worthy
of being worshipped.

In
an
interview with
The L.A. Times, Soros admitted the following: "If
truth be known, I carried some rather potent
messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I
felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me
in trouble." And when asked by Britain's Independent
newspaper to elaborate on that passage, Soros said,
"It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself
some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I
feel comfortable about it now since I began to live
it out."

In other words, the guy actually believes he is god!
That was in 2003, when Mr. Soros was investing a
formidable amount of his fortune into defeating
President George W. Bush in his run for a second
term in office. That effort failed, but the dragon
got busy with other things, including making huge
investments in organizations that would carry his
radical message to new heights: the progressive
Media
Matters for America
with its obsessive pursuit and vilification of
conservative media, the
Secretary of State Project,
focused on electing leftists to that office to
oversee the election process, like they did in the
2008 Minnesota Senate race that magically produced
absentee ballots which gave the election to Al
Franken instead of the popular incumbent Norm
Coleman.

Of course there is also Mr. Soros’s overwhelming support for everything
Barack Obama. However, he really wasn’t supporting
Mr. Obama, but rather himself. I believe that he,
Mr. Soros, was the de facto president of the United
States from 2008 until 2016. If you follow the
money, it is clear that it was the dragon himself
who was calling the shots, shaping the policies, and
manipulating/pressuring/directing feckless pols like
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid into doing his bidding.
We all know how that turned out: an out-of-control
immigrant policy, an utterly failed [un[Affordable
Care Act, the catastrophic Iran deal, and,
ironically––to their ongoing shock, dismay, agony
and fury––the rise and sweeping victory of President
Donald J. Trump.

BATTLE OF THE EGOS

Ideologues like Soros are mistakenly thought to be above ego. It’s all about
the issue, they’d like us to believe. Bushwa! Men
like Soros don’t spend a preponderance of their
time, brain power, energy, and money on issues alone
without wanting and needing, indeed craving, the
adulation and recognition that go along with the
success of their efforts. Especially men with
messianic fantasies who openly admit to god
complexes!

In his wildest dreams, you can be sure that George Soros never expected to
have his life’s dreams challenged and ridiculed and
lobbied against and successfully undermined by
another billionaire with an ego just as big as his
own. That’s right…the dragon slayer in this case is none other than President
Donald Trump!

It’s as
delicious as eating a juicy porterhouse steak to
witness the president taking on the
bought-and-paid-for media machine Soros has so
indulgently nurtured, the planted domestic and
foreign policy moles now being summarily fired, the
socialized-medicine scheme being virtually
overthrown, the global-warming
tax-extortion hoaxbeing exposed (the
same hoax that, according to Kevin Jackson,Mr. Soros
paid Al Gore multimillions to promote), and the
defunding of the
abortion mill known as Planned Parenthood.

The
dragon slayer has been able to accomplish all his in
only four weeks! That is because unlike Mr. Soros,
President Trump’s vast business experience has given
him a leg up in the dragon-slaying department. Many
good examples exist in all the Soros-paid-for demonstrations we’ve witnessed since his nemesis became
president. The leftist grievance purveyors all gripe
about Wall St. and wealth and income-disparity and
how the system is “unfair,” while, at the same time
grabbing every last cent that the dragon spends to
fund their demonstrations, pay for their placards
and travel and lodging, provide them with talking
points, and do it all over again the next day!

But for
all the huffing and puffing and acting-out, there
has not been one micrometer of progress in slowing
down the dragon-slayer or in diminishing his rising
popularity!

Don’t
these demonstrators have jobs or go to school? Don’t
they realize that the vast public out there––the
same public that trounced Barack Obama in the 2010
and 2012 midterms and positively annihilated
everything he and his puppet-master Soros stood for
in the 2016 election––is witnessing these frenetic
temper tantrums, the anarchy, the irrationality, the
grown women spewing profanities in front of their
children while wearing ridiculous pink pussycat
hats, the ignoramuses that can’t even get their
talking points straight, the displaced hatred, the
obvious projections, and will reflect their disgust
in the 2018 midterms by removing progressive
politicians from our midst forever?

I found
the March for Women particularly ironic since it was
clear to me that of the thousands of little girls
who attended or witnessed the march, not one ran up
to her mother and said: “Mommy, I don’t want to grow
up to be beautiful and elegant and speak five
languages and be a mother and marry a powerful
businessman like Melania Trump, and I don’t want to
be beautiful and educated and successful in business
and be a mother and marry a successful man like
Ivanka Trump…no, Mommy, ugh… I want to be grow up to
put on a vagina costume and use swear words like I
saw at the march!”

In the
same way, I can’t imagine that one little boy in
America has told his parents that his goal is to
grow up so he can put on a black costume, cover his
face, and go on a rampage where he breaks store
windows, sets businesses on fire, overturns cars,
and then runs away like a coward into the darkness.

IMPOTENT RAGE

The
drumbeat of rage against the machine––the Trump
machine––goes on, with media hacks from both network
and cable shows melting down left and right,
“objective” poseurs like Chris Wallace of Fox News
Sunday literally yelling at White House Chief of
Staff Reince Priebus, leaving Rush Limbaugh to
remind a sputtering Wallace that “the media did not
make Donald Trump, and they can’t destroy him.”

Still,
the dragon and the media and entities like the
Indivisible Team (IT),
the Deep State, and Barack Obama himself plow on, intent on destroying the
Trump presidency. IT, according to writer Dr.
Richard Swier, was established by five former
Democrat congressional staffers after President
Trump’s victory and immediately launched a website
devoted to providing leftists and liberals with
strategies for countering the “radical,
racist, and sexist” objectives of the president,
a daily calendar of national events and
calls-to-action, and the group’s signature
publication,
Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the
Trump Agenda.

If their agenda has so far
succeeded, I must have missed it, although one of
their recommendations is, as we’ve seen, to disrupt
town hall and other meetings with loud, unrelenting
yelling, objections, and generally obnoxious
behavior.

The Deep State is defined by
David
Goldman (aka Spengler), columnist
for Asia Times Online and author of
How Civilizations Die: (And Why Islam Is Dying Too),
as “the secret services in a dictatorship who
overthrow governments, manipulate the press, and
otherwise eliminate opponents.” A story by Joel
Pollak in Breitbart
explains that “the
Deep State is shorthand for the nexus of secretive
intelligence agencies…including the CIA, NSA,
Defense Intelligence Agency, and components of the
State Department, Justice Department, Department of
Homeland Security, and the armed forces.”

So
far they have accused President Trump & Co., of,
among other things, colluding with the Russians. But
every accusation has been thoroughly disproven. At
this point––only four weeks in to the new
presidency––it’s important to remember that we’re
still dealing with the Dragon vis-à-vis Obama’s CIA,
NSA, et al. As for the State Dept., the new
Secretary, Rex Tillerson, has just fired the top
tier of Dragon/Obama loyalists!

Barack Obama is among the defeated and largely
discredited leftists who cannot bear to see Donald
Trump in power and hard at work dismantling his
anti-American agenda. It is actually painful
for leftists like him to see an ebullient Donald
Trump making more substantive progress in weeks than
their entire “village” did in eight years, in
mobilizing thousands of supportive fans in just an
hour to attend a massive rally in Melbourne,
Florida, and disseminating more hope and optimism in
the American public than has been seen in a decade.

When Mr. Obama “said he
was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests,” Sperry
writes, “he was sending a message of approval to his
troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of
agitators––numbering more than 30,000––who will
fight his Republican successor at every turn of his
historic presidency. And Obama will command them
from a bunker less than two miles from the White
House. He’s doing it through a network of leftist
nonprofits led by Organizing for Action.”

Mmmmm… now who do you suppose is funding this
seditious effort? According to Sperry, OFA is
registered as a 501(c)(4), so “it doesn’t have to
disclose its donors, but they’ve been generous.”

Sperry goes on to
comment: “Obama is leaving behind a generation
of militant jerks— collectively known as his
`family’—to continue to proliferate protests and
militate against everything and nothing. These
irritating, self-absorbed, belligerent brats will
`hands-up, don’t shoot’ themselves into every
cobwebbed corner of society, and the liberal media
will give them the national bullhorn to amplify
their hatred every time.”

As I see it, however, all of these forces,
individually or collectively, are simply not as
smart, as savvy, as powerful, or as persuasive as
President Trump and his minions. My bet has always
been and remains on the dragon slayer!
